Keep coolant flowing at the right temperature in your heavy-duty rig with the Gates Green Stripe Heavy-Duty Engine Coolant Thermostat (34308). A thermostat regulates the flow of coolant between the engine and radiator to bring the engine up to operating temperature and hold it there. This one drops in as a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of medium- and heavy-duty trucks, buses and equipment — including the 2007-2013 American LaFrance Condor, 2009-2018 Autocar Xpeditor, 2012-2025 Freightliner 108SD, 2008-2025 Freightliner M2 106 and many more L6-8.3L, L6-8.9L and L6-10.8L applications (see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list).

  • Heavy-gauge brass and stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance.
  • Quality-controlled factory calibration for accurate opening and closing, regardless of pressure changes.
  • Temperature-sensitive heat motor provides consistent valve response for smooth performance and precise engine cooling.
  • Bottom by-pass design; starts to open at 180°F (82°C) and includes one O-ring seal.

The Green Stripe line is built to withstand the noise, vibration and harshness found under the hood on heavy-duty truck, bus, tractor and heavy-equipment applications. Country of origin: China.

Frequently Asked Questions

At what temperature does this thermostat start to open?

It begins to open at 180°F (82°C), controlled by a temperature-sensitive heat motor for consistent valve response and precise engine cooling.

What is the 34308 thermostat made of?

It uses heavy-gauge brass and stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance under demanding heavy-duty conditions.

Does it include a seal or gasket?

It includes one O-ring seal. No separate gasket and no installation tool are included, so consult the service procedure for any additional sealing parts your engine needs.

Will this fit my truck?

It fits a wide range of heavy-duty trucks, buses and equipment with L6-8.3L, L6-8.9L and L6-10.8L engines. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact year, make and model.

What are signs my thermostat may need replacing?

Engine overheating, a temperature gauge that stays low or fluctuates, or slow warm-up can indicate a stuck thermostat. Diagnose the cause first; if the thermostat is at fault, this replaces it.
